Tijuana

Carlos, my father, passed away on 5 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 67 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 June. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Carlos to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $800 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 • Funeral home services and casket: $570 • Transport of the deceased: $110 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Sofía

Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Sofía
